It is said that when a butterfly flaps its wings in one region of the earth, it could alter the weather patterns in a completely different part of the world. Known as the "butterfly effect," the theory suggests that the small gust of wind a butterfly produces on its morning quest for nectar could actually lead to a tsunami or tornado elsewhere. And though this sort of causation is no more than just a theory, the butterfly effect is a reminder that even the smallest of actions can have the greatest impact.

The way it's marketed, collagen sometimes sounds less like a supplement, and more like the fountain of youth. Purported benefits of collagen — a major structural protein in the body — range from glowing skin to strong nails and voluminous hair (although Harvard Medical School says large-scale trials are still needed to prove its hair health benefits). Proponents on social media call collagen powder their "secret" to good hair and skin, speaking to its efficacy, and encouraging others to give it a try. But before jumping on the bandwagon yourself, it pays to know a little about collagen side effects.
